Daily updates (including the To Do list) can be accessed through [http://opensourcemalaria.org/# the project's main hub]. | |||
At the moment (July 2013) there is most activity on [[OpenSourceMalaria:GSK_Amino-thienopyrimidine_Series|'''Series 2''']], with the raw data in [http://malaria.ourexperiment.org/aminotpseries this lab notebook]. | |||
The main resource needed in the OSM project is '''experimental input''', particularly chemical compound synthesis. Anyone can make compounds, get them tested and contribute data. You don't have to be a research scientist - maybe you're an undergrad doing a lab. | |||
If you have no access to a lab, there are a number of important admin things needed, labelled as such on the [https://github.com/OpenSourceMalaria/OSM_To_Do_List/issues?state=open To Do List]. | |||
